When a negligence-based accident turns your life upside-down, the physical, emotional, and financial consequences can be devastating. The Bunkie personal injury attorneys at Laborde Earles understand the overwhelming uncertainty you face as medical bills pile up and you have to miss days of work.
In the aftermath of an accident, the last thing on your mind is legal technicalities and deadlines. Still, La.Civ.Code art 3492 imposes a strict two-year statute of limitations on most personal injury claims.
This means you generally have just two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit against those responsible. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your ability to recover compensation forever.
While two years may seem like sufficient time, these cases are incredibly complex and require extensive investigation, documentation, and calculations to prove negligence and damages.
Attempting to navigate this process alone while also recovering from injuries is an overwhelming challenge that can result in costly delays or mistakes jeopardizing the entire claim.
Time is truly of the essence for personal injury claims in Louisiana, which is why the attorneys at Laborde Earles make it a priority to get your case started immediately to protect your rights and potential financial recovery. If you or a loved one was injured due to negligence in the Bunkie area, do not delay in seeking legal representation. The sooner you have our team on your side, the better we can safeguard your ability to hold all liable parties accountable for the full damages you have suffered.
